Round Square
Since 2024, Fredrikshovs slotts skola has been a member of the international organisation Round Square, becoming the second school in the Nordics to join. Round Square is a global network of schools united by six core values – Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership, and Service (IDEALS). These values guide the schools in their mission to provide students with both academic and personal development.
Round Square offers students at Fredrikshovs slotts skola a unique opportunity to broaden their horizons and grow in an international environment. Through our membership, students gain a platform to connect with other children from around the world, participating in collaborations, exchanges, and projects that span cultures, languages, and continents. They also have the chance to learn about the world through experiential learning that deepens understanding, empathy, and their global perspective. Through these encounters students build relationships, take on new challenges, and develop their leadership skills in practice. With Round Square, we aim not only to use the network as a resource for our students but also to be an active participant and source of inspiration for other schools and students worldwide.
Internationellt utbyte
Under vårterminen 2025 tog Fredrikshov, genom Round Square, emot en utbytesstudent från Kanada vid namn Abigail. Abigail gick tillsammans med årskurs 9 i några veckor och bodde även hemma hos en av våra elever. Vi är otroligt glada att Round Square har gett oss denna möjlighet att ytterligare kunna utveckla våra internationella samarbeten, och att vi nu kan erbjuda våra elever möjligheten att på ett givande och spännande sätt möta och lära känna jämnåriga från andra länder och kulturer.
Så här skriver Abigail om sitt besök i Sverige och på Fredrikshovs slotts skola:
”Hej!
My name is Abigail Ashe and I came to Fredrikshovs slotts skola from Rothesay Netherwood School as a Round Square exchange student. I have found this experience so rewarding and I will cherish all my memories for many years to come! I couldn’t have picked a more welcoming school to come to – everyone was so kind! I am so grateful for Martina and Francesc for giving me this amazing opportunity! Thank you Fredrikshov!
Tack så mycket!
Hej då!”

Educational trips
In addition to our membership in Round Square, the school also has the opportunity to offer our students various educational trips. Each year, for instance, the 6th grade embarks on a science-themed trip, while the 9th grade typically travels to Kraków and Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland as part of their social studies curriculum.
